He wants to use the platform "to promote new thinking about the future of mobility, urban design and building businesses for growth while protecting the planet". 

Maya Ben Dror, manager of the Automotive and New Mobility Industry at the WEF, said Tier's "holistic set of mobility solutions will be invaluable in our efforts to ensure sustainable and resilient movement of people and things for liveable cities".
